TANK VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240175551 titled 'TANK VALVE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a tank valve device with a valve block, valve, nozzle head, and temperature sensor for measuring fluid temperature in the tank.
- The valve block is located in an opening of the tank.
- The valve is attached to the valve block.
- The nozzle head extends along an axial line and is attached to the valve block inside the tank.
- The temperature sensor measures fluid temperature in the tank.
- The nozzle head has a filling line for flowing fluid into the tank.
- The temperature sensor is inserted through the nozzle head.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for controlling fluid flow and monitoring temperature in tanks.
Problems Solved
The device helps in regulating fluid levels and ensuring optimal temperature conditions within the tank, preventing overheating or freezing of the fluid.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in fluid level monitoring - Enhanced safety by preventing fluid temperature extremes - Efficient filling process with the filling line integrated into the nozzle head
Potential Commercial Applications
"Tank Valve Device for Fluid Control and Temperature Monitoring" could be used in industries requiring precise fluid management and temperature control, such as chemical processing plants and food production facilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar tank valve devices used in industrial settings for fluid control and temperature monitoring.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle different types of fluids with varying viscosities?
The patent application does not specify how the device accommodates fluids with different viscosities. This could be crucial in industries where a wide range of fluids are used.
Is the device compatible with tanks of different sizes and shapes?
The patent application does not mention the compatibility of the device with tanks of varying sizes and shapes. This information would be important for potential users with non-standard tank configurations.
Original Abstract Submitted
a tank valve device has a valve block provided in an opening of a tank, a valve that is attached to the valve block, a nozzle head that extends along an axial line and is attached to the valve block and arranged inside the tank, and a temperature sensor that measures fluid temperature in the tank, and the nozzle head has a filling line that flows fluid to be filled into the tank, and the temperature sensor is inserted through the nozzle head.
